PREVIEW: Clippers (39-18) vs. Utah Jazz (31-24)

The Clippers will try to make it a 4-0 season sweep of Utah tonight at Staples Center, but there is one pressing order of business to take care of first.

"We're at home, we should have a sick feeling in our stomach about the other night and come out hungry," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "Eventually we'll get our rhythm and get back in."

Coming out of the All-Star break, the Clippers (39-18) were trounced at home by San Antonio, 116-90, on Thursday. It remains to be seen if they'll take out their frustrations on the Jazz (31-24) in the game televised on Prime Ticket.

If anyone should be fired up it would be Clippers guard Chris Paul, who had only four points and three assists against the Spurs. It was only the third time in Paul's eight-year career in which he had point-assist totals as low as that.

It also happened Feb. 8 against Miami (three points, two assists) and once in 2007 against Dallas (two points, three assists). In the game after Miami, Paul had 25 points, seven assists, four steals, three 3-pointers and only one turnover at New York.
